Jealous that Ellie feels that way, while Max is... way more confused? It would be amusing on any other day, if Max wished she grew up to be like Ellie.]

[She can't even hide what she thinks, the event drawing the truth from her. Exposing her selfishness.]
The one year she was here... was literally the best year of my life. Followed by the worst year.
[She looks at Ellie, her eyes watering, expression pained and scared. Scared of what the other girl will think of her, of what Chloe would think of her. Scared of these thoughts being formed into words against her will.
How selfish would it be if Max wished Chloe had never come to life for a year?]
So I don't... know what I'd choose. I don't...
[She abruptly leaps up to her feet, wringing her hands.]

Let's-... Let's do something else?
